Oliver Reitebuch,Christian Lemmerz,Oliver Lux,Uwe Marksteiner,Stephan Rahm,Fabian Weiler,Benjamin Witschas,Markus Meringer,Karsten Schmidt,Dorit Huber,Ines Nikolaus,Alexander Geiss,Michael Vaughan,Alain Dabas,Thomas Flament,Hugo Stieglitz,Lars Isaksen,Michael Rennie,Jos de Kloe,Gert-Jan Marseille,Ad Stoffelen,Denny Wernham,Thomas Kanitz,Anne-Grete Straume,Thorsten Fehr,Jonas von Bismarck,Rune Floberghagen,Tommaso Parrinello +27 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the first ever Doppler Wind Lidar (DWL) instrument in space, ALADIN contributes to the improvement in numerical weather prediction (NWP) by measuring one component of the horizontal wind vector.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Airborne Demonstrator for the Direct-Detection Doppler Wind Lidar ALADIN on ADM-Aeolus. Part II: Simulations and Rayleigh Receiver Radiometric Performance
Ulrike Paffrath,Christian Lemmerz,Oliver Reitebuch,Benjamin Witschas,Ines Nikolaus,Volker Freudenthaler +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a prototype of a direct-detection Doppler wind lidar was developed to measure wind from ground and aircraft at 355 nm, and the results of measurements and simulations for a ground-based instrument were compared, analyzed, and discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The European Space Agency (ESA) wind mission, Aeolus, hosts the first space-based Doppler Wind Lidar (DWL) world-wide as mentioned in this paper, which is intended for assimilation in Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Airborne direct-detection and coherent wind lidar measurements along the east coast of Greenland in 2009 supporting ESA's Aeolus mission
Uwe Marksteiner,Oliver Reitebuch,Stephan Rahm,Ines Nikolaus,Christian Lemmerz,Benjamin Witschas +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the analysis of wind measurement data gathered during a flight segment on 26.09.2009 and evaluate the systematic and random error of the direct-detection wind lidar.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aeolus End-to-End Simulator and Wind Retrieval Algorithms up to Level 1B
Oliver Reitebuch,Uwe Marksteiner,Marc Rompel,Markus Meringer,Karsten Schmidt,Dorit Huber,Ines Nikolaus,Alain Dabas,Jonathan Marshall,Frank de Bruin,Thomas Kanitz,Anne-Grete Straume +11 more
TL;DR: The first wind lidar in space ALADIN will be deployed on ESA´s Aeolus mission as mentioned in this paper, where an end-to-end simulator was developed to assess the performance and optimize the wind retrieval and calibration algorithms.
